American firm Memphis Meats, founded by several scientists, plans to become the first supplier to the world meat market, grown from animal stem cells. Muscle tissue that never been part of a living organism, already grown company specialists in small volumes. According to the Americans, they use for this purpose the stem cells of pigs, chickens and cows, getting in the end a full-bodied in its taste and nutrition meat qualities.
Memphis Meats plans to start selling cultivated meat by mid-2021. The competitors of the company are “Modern Meadow” and “Mosa Meat” – quickly realized that they should not be left behind, and also promised to arrange the sale of artificial meat in the coming several years.
Uma Valeti, director of Memphis Meats, is convinced that soon time humanity will stop raising animals for slaughter and will begin instead get meat in the laboratories. American thinks the so-called “second domestication” is coming. First happened ten to twenty thousand years ago when a man realized that wild animals can be kept in captivity and killed for meat. Now now our civilization, according to Valeti, is ready to receive this food raw materials by artificial means.

Lab meat benefits
Scientists have long concluded that traditional meat is extremely inefficient. For example, for breeding cows huge pastures and colossal volumes of water. To get one calorie beef, you need to spend twenty three calories stern.
For the production of laboratory meat can be used on fifty percent less energy and ninety percent less water and land. Given the fact that the population of our planet is constant growing, animals will no longer be able to provide earthlings soon the necessary amount of meat. Then the cultivated meat will become just irreplaceable.
In vitro meat is thought to be not only cheaper, but also more useful as it will not be part of animals capable of getting sick leave negative meat in the slaughter energy commensurate with poison, and so on. No need set aside thousands of square kilometers for pasture. Also not forget about ethical issues. Cattle will no longer be kept in captivity and suffering. All world organizations without exception, protecting the rights of animals, advocate for meat in the laboratories.
